Tiguan L does not have the automatic door locking feature when leaving the vehicle, so it cannot be set up by yourself. You need to visit a 4S shop to have the program updated. Apart from using the key to lock the doors, the Tiguan L can also be locked by touching the horizontal groove on the door handle.

I've been driving the Volkswagen Tiguan L for two years, and the automatic door locking feature when leaving the car is indeed convenient and safe. Setting it up is actually quite simple: first, start the vehicle's engine or power up the system, then find the vehicle settings menu on the central control screen. Click into it and select the door lock or security options, where there's an automatic locking function—just check the box to enable it. After that, as long as you close the doors properly and walk a few meters away with the key, the car will automatically lock without manual operation. I used to forget to lock the car often, but since enabling this feature, I haven't worried about parking safety anymore. However, it's important to note that the key must be on you and have sufficient battery power; otherwise, it might not work. Overall, this design is quite user-friendly and suitable for daily use. You can also check if this feature is functioning properly during regular maintenance.

As a family car owner, I particularly appreciate the automatic door lock setting of the Tiguan L, which saves a lot of hassle. The steps to operate it are: After getting in the car, press the one-touch start button twice to enter the dashboard power-on state, then tap the vehicle settings icon on the central control screen, enter the door lock configuration area, turn on the automatic lock switch, and save the settings. After that, when you park the car, close the door, and walk away, the car will automatically lock with an audible or visual signal, which gives me peace of mind while shopping or taking care of the kids. A related tip is to ensure the windows are fully closed to prevent accidental opening; also, keep the key not too far away to avoid signal interference. This feature is helpful for both anti-theft and convenience, and I consider it a must-have for urban driving.

What to Do When the Kia Trunk Won't Open?

If the car is in the unlocked state, both the doors and the trunk will be locked. In this case, simply unlocking the vehicle will allow the trunk to open normally. If the car has been involved in a collision causing the trunk latch to deform, the trunk may also fail to open. In such a situation, the trunk latch needs to be repaired or replaced. If the trunk latch is stuck, the trunk may be difficult to open due to friction. In this scenario, applying lubricant to the latch position for lubrication should resolve the issue.
